	How do we classify  *short**??

	Do Not have specific information on this trestle (do have lengths,
height, and grade for the 3-Charleroi trestles, have lengths for most
other trestles on the line  --  but do  NOT  have specific information
on this particular trestle.)

	Other trestles on Library:::::::
		Simmons Stop - 35-feet long.
		Library Stop - 20-feet long.
		Library Acres - 18-feet long.
		Boyer Stop - 15-feet long.
		Latimer Stop - 10-feet long.
		Brightwood Stop - 66-feet long.
		Mine #3 - 98-feet long (Wash Jct.)
		Elwyn (McNeilly) - 44-feet long.
		Oak - 373-feet long.
		Reflectorville - 306-feet long.
		McKinley Park - 445-feet long.

	I would  *guesstimate*  the South Park Trestle to be about 3-PCC-car
lengths++ long, or about 110--150--feet in length.  Any definite
statistics out there?!?!
